Abstract

There has been a great interest and extensive research in diode laser-pumped solid-state lasers in the past decade. Nd:LaF3 crystals have a long lifetime and broad absorption feature1 compared to Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF crystals. These are advantages for Q-switched laser operation. We report a Nd:LaF3 laser pumped by a 788-nm Ti:sapphire laser in cw and Q-switched operation. Upconversion fluorescence and the corresponding mechanisms are analyzed.
